Deck Primer

On a bet, I actually took this deck to my game shop for the 11/23/24 Saturday event.  First match, my opponent started with 47 cards.  After my round of thinning their bench and hand, they could not evolve/draw to counter my Glimmet.  Not quite a donk, but I removed each of their 4 basic pokemon, each succesive round.  Second match started badly, but after I trimmed their cards, I slowly whittled down their pokemon with damage and poison.  Third match, I got wiped out turn

Deck did much better than I expected, but the single loss kept me from placing in the top 3...  and honestly I really would have felt bad had I placed vs real decks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obviously not meant to be a real deck... though it still currently has 100% win rate (most rage quit after round one Glimmora and Xerosic) on TCG Live.  

Try to go second.  After your opponent has set up their dream bench, you want to play Xerosic's Machinations or Hand Trimmer.  This will usually mill most of their deck, from all the mulligan cards.  In the least, you have eliminated a good portion of their available resources.  You will want to attatch a fighting energy, and use Ascension, evolving your Glimmet into a Glimmora Ex.  Dust field will limit their bench to 3 pokemon.  If they don't immediately quit, add a second energy round 2, and hit for 150 damage (140 with an additional 10 poison damage).  With their diminished resources, hopefully you can hold out before they knock you out.

Use Professor's or Brassius if you don't initially pull Xerosic's/Hand Trimmer in opening hand.  Hopefully survive the round, and use Xerosic's/Hand Trimmer as soon as you can pull it.

Yeah, I greatly doubt this is going to last past round 3, at best.

It has been funny to watch my opponent set up their bench for a good 5 min, for me to then knock it down to 3.  I think the best was a terapagos deck, that set up the perfect 8 pokemon bench, for me to remove basically everything with Ascension, then one hit kill terapagos for weakness.

Put Carmine to discard your hand when starts first

What if you use the miracle headset ace spec to be more annoying

MegaMagikarpVMAX - I duhno, if the supporter cards are already used and in your discard, it's probably too late.  But it is as good a ACE Spec as any other, and possible further disruption is always good.  I'll add it.

I also added 4 pokegear 3.0, to increase the possibility to pull Xerosic's turn one

Actually took this deck to an event Saturday 11/23/24, and won 2 of my 3 matches.
